New video every week →With over 10 years of core development experience, I've built and scaled systems across multiple domains — from high-traffic APIs to distributed architectures.
I started TechTalkByte to break down complex system design concepts into short, digestible videos — the kind of content I wish existed when I was starting out.
Every video is grounded in real-world engineering decisions, trade-offs, and lessons learned from production systems.
